As it seems the general industry is leary, of getting on with making carbon SiC rotors and pads, I decided to make my own a while ago.
The rotor is machined from a F16 front rotor, the pads are made of a similar material, scavenged from a 747 brake rotor.
This ought to serve as a bit of inspiration ;-)
